    Boxer against puncher...how do they match up?

    I'm beginning to appreciate Satterfield more lately...as an action fighter.

    Young outboxes Satterfield to win a dull UD. Compare this to when 'Irish' Bob Murphy lost to Joey Maxim in a lightheavyweight title fight. Murphy was a huge puncher but Maxim was just too slick. This would be a similar outcome IMO.

    Satterfield was a very exciting fighter who could upset anyone, but lose to a mediocre fighter the next day. I think Young is a class too high for him though; Bob will have severe trouble landing his punches while Young cunningly uses the ring and sticks a few jabs and 1-2's in. Don't forget Young was very durable: he survived Foreman's onslaught in the 9th. I'd pick him by decision.
